NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-When the
delegates to the convention of republi-
can clubs began to file into Chichering
hall to-day it was remarked that
they wore a more confident air than
yesterday when the batallions were
disordered and headless. The idea Of
q federation of clubs centralized and
obedient to the touch of a directing
hand was before every eye. They
pose Of the convention. The COM
mittees appointed yesterday had been
at work last night, rules of order
had been framed, EvertS had been
nominated for permanent chairman,
other matters had been arranged by
other committees and everything
should go smoothly but how the high
spirits and in some cases the turbulence
OF members could be held under
restraint remained to be seen.
Among the first to arrive and take
position on the platform was the tenn
porary chairman, Daniel j. Ryan.
About 1915 the convention was called
to order by Mr.. Ryan. The chairmen
of the different committees appointed
yesterday then made their reports. At
the reading of the names of the differ
emit clubs pretext was found for cheer
ing their names when suggestive.
There were 313 club names to read and
the cheering was almost continuous as
the following names were repeated:
John Sherman. U. s. Grant, Charles
Sumner, John A. Logan, Ben Wade,
Abraham Lincoln and James G. Blaine.
The last name was greeted with ire

that some delegates did not join in it.

The report of the committee on Gre

among the states according to popula-

MIR. Grostenor Of Ohio offered the fol
lowing resolution, which caused a SEN

Whereas, It is the opinion of this ma.
tional convention of republican clubs
that no man who at any time denounced
Abraham Lincoln while he was presi.
a buftoon and a clown, or who
ever declared from his seat in
the Uuited States senate that no man
should denounce Jefferson Davis as q
traitor and go unrebuked by
him, or who, in his official capacity as
secretary of the interior, ordered that
the flag of the United States should bt
displayed at half mast on the occasion
of the death Of Jacob Thompson, o.
who, as senator of the United States
many years after the war, refused tt
